Before You Begin

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING.

The following basic safety precautions should always be taken.

1.  Close supervision is necessary when the device is used by, on, or near children, 

handicapped persons or invalids.

2.  Use the device only for the intended use described in this User Guide.

3.  Do not use test strips and control solutions which are not supplied by the 

manufacturer.

4.  Do not use the device if it is not working properly, or if it has suffered any damage.

5.  Before using any product to test your blood glucose, read all instructions 

thoroughly and practice the test. Do all quality control checks as directed and 

consult with a diabetes healthcare professional.

6.  KEEP THIS USER GUIDE WITH YOU.

Intended Use

The system is intended for use outside the body (

in vitro

 diagnostic use only). 

It should be used only for testing blood glucose (blood sugar) and only with fresh 

capillary whole blood samples. The system is intended for use in the home and in 

clinical settings. It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for the testing of 

newborns.

     Getting To Know Your System

The OKmeter Direct Blood Glucose Monitoring System.

The OKmeter Direct system uses the latest technology to provide you with easy and 

comfortable testing. The system requires only a 0.7 μL of blood sample to complete 

the testing in only 6 seconds.
The OKmeter Direct system consists of

1. OKmeter Direct Blood Glucose Meter

2. OKmeter Direct Blood Glucose Test Strips

Principle of Measurement

Blood glucose is measured by an electrical current that is produced when a blood 

samples mixes with the reagent (special chemicals) of the test strip. The electrical 

current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample. The OKmeter Direct 

meter measures the strength of the electrical current, calculates your blood glucose 

level and then displays your result in either milligrams of glucose per deciliter (mg/dL) or 

millimoles of glucose per liter (mmol/L). 

Caution

1.  The user should not take any decision of medical relevance without first consulting 

his or her medical practitioner. 

2.  Call your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that are not consistent with 

your blood glucose test results.

3.  High altitudes above than 3,402 meter (11,161 ft) may affect the test results. 

4.  Temperatures outside the range of 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F) may affect the test 

results. Do not test beyond of temperature range.

IMPORTANT HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION

1.  Apply only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. Applying other 

substances or plasma, serum will cause wrong results.

2.  Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If 

you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your healthcare 

professional immediately.

3.  Test  results  below  60  mg/dL  (3.3  mmol/L)*1  indicates  low  blood  glucose 

(hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L)*2 indicates high 

blood glucose (hyperglycemia).If your results are below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or 

above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), repeat the test, and if the results are still below 60 

mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), consult your healthcare 

professional immediately.

4.  Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients 

in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a 

hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients 

should not be tested with blood glucose meters.

5.  Abnormal red blood cell counts (hematocrit level below 20% or above 60%) may 

cause false results. Please consult your healthcare professional if you do not know 

your hematocrit level.

6.  Interference: Reducing substances occurring in the blood naturally (uric acid, 

bilirubin) or from therapeutic treatments (ascorbic acid, acetaminophen) will not 

significantly affect OKmeter Direct test results. However, elevated concentrations 

of these substances may affect test results. The compounds listed in the tables 

were found to have no affect at the concentration indicated.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

The OKmeter Direct meter comes with TWO 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries.
Battery life will vary depending on usage, so always keep spare batteries on hand.
The battery should last about 1000 tests or 12 months when testing 3 times a day.
When the batteries symbol appears on the meter display, battery is getting low. You will 

still be able to test with low battery, but you should replace them as soon as possible. 
When battery symbol and E-b shows up in the meter display, the meter will no longer 

give results and you must replace the batteries immediately. Please always have spare 

batteries with you to ensure that you can replace the battery anytime.

SETTING TIME AND DATE

Please install battery first and set correct time and date before you begin to test.

IMPORTANT :

 

1.The time, date and unit of measurement can ONLY be changed in the setting mode. Therefore, 

when you perform a blood glucose testing, it is not possible to change those parameters.

2.Your meter displays test results in milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles of glucose per 

deciliter. Use of the wrong unit of measure may cause you to misinterpret your blood glucose 

level, and may lead to incorrect treatment. Please always consult with your healthcare 

professionals before you reset the unit of measure.

3.While the meter is in the setting mode, if no button is pressed for 1 minute, the meter will turn off
